The new Kamvalok® Flat is the next generation of OPW dry-disconnect couplings. OPW has taken their proven, best-in-class Kamvalok and flattened the connection points. This effectively eliminates all cavities where liquid can pool and subsequently spill upon disconnection.
Kamvalok Flat reduces product loss at disconnect by up to 85% compared to the already high-performing standard Kamvalok.
